Baby, It was cold out there this morning. Seriously. Froze my butt off! It was the wind. It was only 32 degrees with a NW wind of about 12. Felt like I was in Dante's 2nd circle of Hell usually set aside for LUSTFUL PEOPLE. Those poor, unfortunate souls would be blown about violently by gale force winds chasing whomever they lusted for on Earth FOREVER. No rest for the Lustful I guess. No rest for runners today either. Dante had quite a sense of humor--especially in naming his greatest work--The Divine Comedy. Speaking of comedy--hope you got to watch the SNL skit last night about Giuliani and his witnesses to voter fraud. It was very funny. SNL is the best. You can always count on them for a little chuckle AND we could all use a good laugh right now. Times are REALLY hard. Thinking it's gonna be like this all winter. If only people had worn a MASK when it mattered. UGH. Hoping and a praying I'll make it through this long, gray, cold winter without a visit to the funny farm. Not even kidding. Winter is hard enough without COVID. Oh Well--Back to the books.
If you're looking for a light read--that's actually a good story than you should pick up Susan Wiggs' book The Lost and Found Bookshop. After the sudden death of her mother, Natalie Harper inherits her failing bookshop in San Francisco. In addition to inheriting the bookshop, Natalie must also take care of her ailing grandfather, Andrew. Although Natalie wants to sell the bookshop, her grandfather has other plans. His family has owned the building that houses the bookshop for more than a century and he has no plans to sell as he's convinced there is some sort of treasure hidden in the building--which has a history of it's own. So Natalie quits her job and moves back to the building of her youth to run the bookshop and take care of her grandfather and in the process gets more than she bargained for especially after she hires a contractor with a young daughter to renovate the building. Find out how Natalie's life changes after returning home and if there really is a treasure in the building when you read this book for yourself. It's about 350 pages or a 3 mile run that you will really enjoy.
